Last flame kit i saw used burnt a young girl badlly...

I dont hate many things but i do hate flame kits...

You would understand if you saw a scorched 5 year old girl...

Leave flame kits for fighter jets... Their not made for cars...

Well first off you will need to run an exhaust system without a cat convertor. There are a few kits available over the net that work well. But what ever you do, dont go for the DIY approach because thats where everything can go wrong.

Some kits run a spark plug in the tip of the exhaust so it ignites the unburnt fuel running through the exhaust. To make this more effective you will have to run a richer mixture but turbo cars run a rich mixture as it is.

But as mentioned earlier it can be a pretty dangerous thing to do if not done in the right environments but can put on a decent specticle. Make sure you consider all the negatives before thinking about doing it.

thanks alot baz. im suprised know ones called me some 8 year old kid for doing this stuff. when i asked here before about getting a r34 for my 1st car everyone told me to piss off and stop watching 2f2f. i know wat i want and i can get it. i just need to know both sides before i install anything.

do u know how much this would this stuff cost?

also are there kits where u just installl and its rdy to go? or do i need to modify it my self? some mates are like i can put my own sparkplug and wire it up. but i aint into that stuff i just want it professionaly done for all the right reasons

Illegal, defectable, dangerous.

thats what i keep tellin him (i'm the one who advises him on this) but he wont listen. his reference for modifying his car is the fast and furious, which is ok for sum ppl... but he wants a flame thrower kit so he can have all his fanboys wen he rocks up to maccas on a satday night, but honestly, what would u guys think if u saw this?

Your gonna do it so i may as well point out the pros and the cons...

Maby this will help sway your decision.

Pro;

1. They impress some people

2. They are not as gay as neons

Con;

1. They are dangerous

2. They are not cheap to do properly

3. They will burn the rear bar in time

4. You need to remove the cat

5. You will get your car taken off you if you are caught with it

6. They have ongoing costs (gas kits)

7. It takes time to fit (im lazy)

8. You will be fined by the police

9. You could quite possiblly kill someone

Of you ask me there are many more cons...

I vote dont do it...

Im only impressive when it happens on a car that is doing it itself...

I mean a monster of a engine and aggressive tune...

ahhahahah stfu kent ur just jelous. wat a loser tries and makes me look bad.

hRMmm that last one....might kill someone?....i dunno isnt that bad is it hahahaha. na but a on a serious note.

while driving (if i do have this kit installed) if i keep the revs low will it still spark?

Edited by anjoO

ill point this out now. i never really was into speed or power. just a bit of a show car if u get me. i cant be stuffed doin all this technical stuff just to make the car go faster aint really me. i just want my car lookn crazi. never know it might turn into a auto salon car.

im sure theres other guys out there with my tastes come on!

i would need really good springs to keep me going after i land then :)

Honestly if you do this and drive on the road I hope you get caught and your car taken off you. Not only does it look ridiculous but it is dangerous and once again gives Skyline owners a bad name (ie. Illegal modifications)

If you are gonna do this shit, save it for the track, DON'T drive around day to day with this cos you are going to get caught.

Oh, and one last thing, if you are referencing that horrid movie Riced And Ridiculous for modifying your car, I suggest you find other sources of inspiration

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
